Review on πŸ“· FeiyuTech VLOG Pocket: Foldable 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with One-Key Orientation Toggle and Face/Object Tracking for iPhone 11 Pro Max and Smartphones (Black) by William Rothstein

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but not great

This gimbal feels solid. Easily folds away when not in use or for storage. Setup is easy as Feiyu explains how to rotate videos on their website. In addition, the buttons give good feedback when pressed. The stability itself is good in use. The video looks fine as if there is no shaking. The way this rubber band balances smartphones also works well for us, with auto-balance set up when you turn it on. I tried. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT IS THE PHONE HOLDER.1. This only fits phones with skins, thin case or no case.2. It won't hold your phone if you have a thick case like Otterbox, pop socket or ring holder.3. Look at the picture, it doesn't fit my phone very snugly with a thin case and retaining ring. IPHONE 11 PRO and iphone se. I don't know if Feiyu tested the thick case, but I can tell you that they only tested phones without a case. I would be worried about putting my phone on it without a case because if I drop this gimbal anything can happen. Your packaging even shows the phone without a case. The phone holder needs improvement as most of the phones have a case and the phone holder needs to be bigger to accommodate phones with thick cases. Overall, this phone gimbal is good but not perfect.

Pros
  • One button to switch orientation
Cons
  • Long delivery time
